HELP--Office 2007 Beta Corrupted my Operating System

[razor]

Hello--

I have been using the Office 2007 beta programs at home and office
successfully--however, the recent technical refresh did not sit well with my
system at home. Basically, the indexing was freezing my OS start-up.

Here is the sequence: I had Office XP and then upgraded to Office 2003
before installing the 2007 Beta. Then the technical refresh. (I read later by
a non-MS tech group that I should have uninstalled Office XP before
installing the Beta--great).

I then uninstalled the Office 2007 beta and it reverted my Office back to XP
(not 2003) and it was buggy, buggy buggy. So I reinstalled the 2003 upgrade
and now Office is working well.

However, when I try to boot my system, it hangs right after the logon stage.
I check my event logs and ran a registry mechanic utility and nothing works.

What I would like to do is reinstall the MS 2007 beta and reinstall the
technical refresh--but I cannot find the URL to for the Office 2007 beta. I
have the technical refresh--but not the beta.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Many thanks,

sd

You want to go on the Office Preview Site. There is a link to it on my
most recent blog post.
Before you install it, get rid of Outlook 2003/XP (whatever you have
installed). If you don't want to run Office XP/2003 in parallel to 2007,
then remove that entire package as well beforehand.
The information that Office XP can't be run in parallel to 2007 is wrong
btw. The only program you can have only one version installed all the
time is Outlook.
